The excitement of getting married in Apulia

For us, thinking that someone would want to travel so far to fulfil a dream was conceived as pure madness. It seemed so curious to us that two young people from Syria would want to get married in Apulia but we are absolutely aware that there is no better region than ours to experience marriage in traditional style.

Amidst curiosity, joy and emotion, it really happened and we couldn’t wait to give a face to this couple. Before then there had only been ‘virtual meetings’ because of the distance between us. We remember perfectly when, one morning on an ordinary Thursday, we were at our desks in the office and all of a sudden, while checking our inbox, among information and general requests, we saw their email asking us to arrange a visit to the facility.

With a heavy heart, the new adventure began. We shuddered at the thought of having to organise the wedding of a couple whose culture was so different from ours. Thanks to them, we discovered new traditions. This is what our job is all about: pure emotion.

We are always looking for new wonders. How monotonous would it be if it wouldn’t be like that? We have never liked anything standard.

After a thousand skype calls, messages and emails, the big day arrived. It was the 18th of August 2018 of a super sunny day.

The wedding was in the evening and it was full of magic.

A single horseshoe table graced our olive grove. Chic touch: two crystal candlesticks on a main olive tree. The very elegant bride Hala was particularly keen to have a floral arrangement on the table that would leave everyone speechless. And so it was, simply breathtaking.

I remember when, at one point in the evening, amidst the thousands of lights, they danced their first dance to a traditional Syrian song. It was like being on another continent, believe me.
